Shelves, shelf rows, and shelf shapes

Shelves appear in two related forms: adjustable boards inside one compartment, and structural dividers that create separate compartments. Choose the form based on whether each zone needs its own front or function.

Add shelves to an open compartment#

Select the compartment and choose Shelf under Contents. In an open side-access niche, this adds adjustable display shelves inside the same opening. In other compatible layouts, the Shelf action can add a structural row. Read the short explanation under the control before applying it.

Select the shelf to change the Board count. The live maximum is calculated from the clear height as approximately one board per 10 cm, minus the end space: max(0, floor(clear height ÷ 10) − 1). Changing the count redistributes the boards evenly; individual boards are listed bottom to top and can be repositioned vertically in 3D.

Add shelves behind a door#

Select a hinged door and use Shelves inside door. These boards create interior zones while keeping one outside door. Select a zone to add a Maximera drawer or adjust several adjacent zone heights.

Choose a board shape#

A slanted board wider than 120 cm automatically becomes a front-lip board so the result stays structurally sensible. The control reports the built result, not merely the stored request.

On stacked compartments, the shelf-shape control belongs to the divider below the selected compartment. The bottom compartment rests on the cabinet floor, so it has no divider below to reshape.

Convert shelves into rows#

Use Convert to shelf rows when every space between boards should become a separately selectable compartment. After conversion, each row can have its own door or drawer, be divided again, or receive a different interior color. This conversion is available for a structural shelf, not for shelves inside one door; save a checkpoint first if the original adjustable-shelf behavior matters.

Delete or merge a board#

Deleting one board merges the zones on its two sides. Deleting the last adjustable board removes the shelf contents entirely. When selecting a zone behind a door, deleting the associated board returns to the door-level editor. Check any internal drawers or accessories after changing shelf count because their zone index and available clearance can change.
